Forget Everything You Know About Industrial Luminaires – The SKLR by Max Müller Changes the Game

At CL VALVE Process Solutions, we are proud to deliver advanced, reliable, and regulation-ready products to industries that demand the highest standards—pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical processing, and high-spec manufacturing.

We are pleased to announce the official launch of the SKLR—a next-generation stainless steel LED luminaire from Max Müller, now exclusively available in Canada through CL VALVE.

This fixture sets a new benchmark in industrial lighting—offering performance, hygiene compliance, and durability in one compact, powerful package.

Unmatched Output. Minimal Footprint.

The SKLR is engineered specifically for environments where space is limited, temperatures are high, and lighting performance is non-negotiable.

Key Performance Characteristics:

  • Light Output: 2,300 lumens – equivalent to a traditional 100W halogen lamp
  • Form Factor: Ø 79 x 117 mm – ideal for compact machine spaces and tight installations
  • Temperature Resistance: Operational up to +60°C
  • Ingress Protection: Rated IP65/IP67 for dust- and water-tight performance
  • Material: Polished stainless steel – corrosion-resistant, easy to sanitize, and compliant with hygiene-critical applications

This is not a modified consumer-grade LED—it is a purpose-built, industrial-grade fixture designed from the ground up to perform reliably in the most demanding operational environments.

Seamless Halogen Replacement

The SKLR completes Max Müller’s range of LED solutions, allowing for full replacement of outdated halogen lighting across your facility:

Halogen EquivalentLED ReplacementLumen Output
10WMVLR/BKVLR100 lm
20WBKVLR300 lm
50WKLR1,000 lm
100WSKLR2,300 lm

Whether you are designing a new system or retrofitting legacy halogen units, Max Müller’s modular approach ensures consistent light quality and installation efficiency.

Built for Compliance and Longevity

Unlike generic lighting products that fail to meet industrial demands, the SKLR is built specifically for regulated sectors, including:

  • Cleanrooms and sterile production zones
  • Food and beverage processing
  • Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing
  • Chemical and hazardous-area environments

The SKLR reduces downtime, maintenance costs, and risk—while elevating compliance with GMP, HACCP, and IP regulations.

Now Available in Canada

CL VALVE Process Solutions is the exclusive Canadian representative of Max Müller. Our team supports engineering teams, plant managers, and OEMs with product selection, technical documentation, and integration support.

In Which Areas Are Industrial Valves Used?

Industrial valves are devices that determine the direction of movement of water or liquid flowing through the valve or completely cut off the flow. The valves we use in many parts of our daily lives consist of different types.

industrial valve varieties cover a large area as a field of use. Valves, which are encountered in both daily and industrial areas, are mostly preferred in production areas. We can list the general usage areas of industrial valves as follows:

  • food production facilities
  • Shipbuilding facilities
  • Heating lines
  • Cooling lines
  • Lines passing natural gas
  • Within water facilities
  • Within the waste facilities
  • In the formation of air handling units
  • In fire extinguishing installations
  • Power generation stations, chemical and especially petrochemical plants
  • On gas and exhaust lines
  • On piping

Industrial valves, which are preferred in this and many other areas, should be selected by considering different types. If you choose a valve that is not suitable for the area you will use, you will not be able to provide an efficient service in the area. For this reason, its features should be examined well and a correct selection stage should be carried out.
